  • The Yellow Vase Café from “90210”

    The Yellow Vase Café from “90210”

    One location that I have been on the lookout for for over a year now is the yellow-hued coffee shop where Navid Shirazi (aka Michael Steger) ran into ex-girlfriend Adrianna Tate-Duncan (aka Jessica Lowndes) in the Season 2 episode of fave show 90210 titled “Another Another Chance”.  I spent far more hours searching for this…

  • The Taken Mansion

    The Taken Mansion

    This past weekend, my fiance and I rented the movie Taken – which was phenomenal, by the way!!!! – and I immediately recognized a home featured in it that was originally used in a Season One episode of fave show Beverly Hills, 90210.  I have been dying to stalk the home for the past few years, but, unfortunately, it is…

  • The Old School House

    The Old School House

    A few weeks ago, while out stalking, Mike, from MovieShotsLA, and I decided to pay a little visit to the house where Luke Wilson lived and set up his fictional Lamdba Epsilon Omega fraternity in the 2003 comedy Old School.  The house is located on a quiet, tree-lined street that has long been a favorite of location scouts.   South Pasadena’s Bushnell Avenue…

  • McSorley’s Old Ale House from “Rounders”

    McSorley’s Old Ale House from “Rounders”

    It has been said that 60% of restaurants close within a year of opening and that 80% don’t make it past year five.  Many in New York, though, have real staying power.  Take McSorley’s Old Ale House, for example.  The East Village watering hole/eatery has been around for more than 16 decades!  Yep, 16 decades! …

  • Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    Madeline’s Real Estate Office from “Big Little Lies”

    I try to keep things positive on this blog, but, man, Sunday night’s Big Little Lies finale was an epic disappointment!  The entire season was hugely lackluster, truth be told, which is especially frustrating considering the outright perfection of Season 1.  I will contend that the first few episodes started out semi-promising, but the show…

  • Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    Architect Frank Gehry’s House

    One location that I stalked quite a while back, but have yet to blog about is the residence belonging to legendary 81-year old Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry, a man who is perhaps best known for his contemporary designs of the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Downtown Los Angeles, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain,…

  • The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Southern Hotel from Michael Jackson’s “Beat It” Music Video

    The Grim Cheaper often accuses me of beating a dead horse.  While I typically don’t agree with him, today’s post is pretty concrete evidence that he’s right, because here I am yet again with yet another article about the diner from Michael Jackson’s 1983 “Beat It” music video.  Today actually marks the fourth time I’ve…

  • The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The George Peabody Library from “Sleepless in Seattle”

    The Grim Cheaper has never been much interested in filming locations, as I’ve mentioned many times before.  He does love stalking them with me, though, as doing so usually involves seeing historic and unique spots.  One site that absolutely bowled him over during our trip back east last September was the George Peabody Library in…

  • Ben and Leslie’s New House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Ben and Leslie’s New House from “Parks and Recreation”

    Back in October, while watching the fabulous Season 5 episode of Parks and Recreation titled “Halloween Surprise”, I became just a wee-bit obsessed with tracking down the Anywhere, U.S.A.-style home that Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) leased with her longtime boyfriend, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott – whom I just saw the other day at my local…

  • Father of the Bride House

    Father of the Bride House

    Had a request today from a co-worker to post the location of the house . Even though in the movie Steve Martin proclaims that he lives in the town of San Marino, his character’s home is actually located a short distance north of San Marino, in Pasadena. The home is beautiful in person, and looks…
